The UPS Store

Student Mail

Where is The UPS Store located?

The UPS Store is located at 206 S Woodward Ave across from the FSU Police Department.

What address should on-campus students use for mail and packages?

Please use the following address:

What is a Student U-Box?

A Student U-Box (University Box) is essentially a PO Box (Post Office Box) on campus. With a U-Box, not only can a student receive typical mail, but they can also receive UPS and FedEx mail which otherwise cannot be delivered to a PO Box.

How do I know my Student U-Box number?

The Housing portal lists your U‐Box number (five-digit box number), or log in to the myFSU portal and look under the "Addresses" section. If you cannot find it in these locations, please contact University Housing directly.

Are there still mailboxes?

The physical mailboxes no longer exist, but your mail will be held in a “virtual mailbox”. A virtual mailbox uses a filing system similar to those used in a health care office.

How will I access my mail and packages?

When you receive mail or packages, they will be logged into our High Density Mail system which will send you an email alert. You then come into The UPS Store and log into a Check-In station to alert us that you are here for pickup. We will retrieve your items, get you to sign for them, and off you go.

What is the best way to guarantee a Saturday shipment to my student?

There is no USPS Saturday delivery on campus or when campus is officially closed.  UPS and FedEx do deliver on Saturday.  Feel free to call to make sure we are open if it is during a time that school is not in session.

Is Priority Mail a guaranteed 2-day service?

No, Priority Mail estimates 2-3 business days and can sometimes take longer.

Tracking on the USPS website shows that my package has been delivered. Why isn’t it available for pickup?

Packages are scanned as delivered when they are put in the container for delivery to FSU. Sometimes that container is not delivered until the next day. Typically packages are scanned and ready for pickup on the same day that The UPS Store receives them.

If I send perishable items, will they be delivered to the residence hall?

No, all packages for students that are sent by USPS, UPS, and FedEx are delivered to The UPS Store. Please check the FSU Housing website for the address for floral deliveries. The UPS Store will refrigerate items on a space-available basis.

Departmental Billing

How can I pay for an order?

We accept P-Card, Purchase Order, or Foundation funds. If paying by P-Card we will need the P-Card number on file prior to printing. If paying by purchase order we will need the PO prior to printing.

What is the limit for a P-Card transaction?

Use P-card up to $4,000 (highest default limit on the P-Card) and/or up to the spend level on the individual cardholder’s p-card (Recommended first way to purchase). (i.e. Cardholder with a limit of $2,500 can only purchase a job up to that amount). Cardholders must provide their P-Card information to the staff at the on-campus UPS Store at the time the order is submitted. Any amount above that will require a purchase order.

My spend level on my p-card is only $2,500. How do I request a higher limit to pay for my order?

For assistance in raising the card limit to $4,000 as needed, the cardholder must provide approval from their respective Dean, Director, or Department Head by emailing tlprice@fsu.edu, rplevine@fsu.edu, and/or pcard@fsu.edu in Procurement Services. If you have further questions you may call to speak with a P-Card staff member at (850) 644.6850.

What if my order is over $4,000?

Enter an OMNI Requisition and submit printing specifications for review to Procurement Services. Printing requisitions will be reviewed to determine if competitive pricing is required. Anyone with questions regarding printing may contact Procurement Services at (850) 644-6850.

Can I use someone else’s P-Card?

No. Approval from the cardholder for each order must be obtained.
